Bruchetta
Bruchetta is an italian vegetarian appetizer which i love. This is the first thing i ate in a restaurant when i came to US. My husband loved it and introduced it to me. Since then i was trying to recreate it at home but something or the other would go missing.
I wondered , from where did that strong fragrance came. I tried various cheeses but nothing worked. Finally, i realized , it was basil and no cheese!!! From then on it was the making of a perfect bruchetta. We never order it at the restaurant now:-)
Here's the recipe... Ingredients:
French bread
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1 garlic clove, finey chopped
3 basil leaves (offcourse!)
6 tbsp olive oil
1/3 onion, finely chopped Method:
1) mix together tomatoes, onion, garlic, chopped basil leaves and 4 tbsp olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Store, covered, in the refrigerator.
2) slice the frence bread into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Apply rest of the olive oil to the slices. Toast them in a toaster or a 375 degrees preheated oven for abt 10 mins.
3) Spread the tomato mixture over the bread and serve.
